PERL: RHEL6 vs SCO Unix

Does anyone know if the same perl command might behave differently on RedHat Ent. 6 vs SCO Openserver 6?

Specifically:
$SIG{ALRM} = \&timeout2;
alarm 30;

SCO PERL v5.8.7 built for i586-pc-sysv5
RHEL6 PERL v5.10.1 (*) built for x86_64-linux-thread-multi

We don't know for sure if our problem is related to the this, but it's a starting point. If the above code (Which works on SCO) might be flaky on RedHat or maybe require some slightly different syntax, etc., it at least gives us a direction for troubleshooting the issue.

NAME
mkfs.bfs - make an SCO bfs filesystem SYNOPSIS
mkfs.bfs [-N nr-of-inodes] [-V volume-name] [-F fsname] device [size-in-blocks] DESCRIPTION
mkfs.bfs creates an SCO bfs file-system on a block device (usually a disk partition or a file accessed via the loop device). The size-in-blocks parameter is the desired size of the file system, in blocks. If nothing is specified, the entire partition will be used. OPTIONS
-N Specify the desired number of inodes (at most 512). If nothing is specified some default number in the range 48-512 is picked depending on the size of the partition. -V volume-label Specify the volume label. I have no idea if/where this is used. -F fsname Specify the fsname. I have no idea if/where this is used. -v Be verbose. EXIT CODES
The exit code returned by mkfs.bfs is 0 when all went well, and 1 when something went wrong. SEE ALSO
mkfs(8). AVAILABILITY
The mkfs.bfs command is part of the util-linux package and is available from ftp://ftp.kernel.org/pub/linux/utils/util-linux/. Util-linux 2.9x 12 Sept 1999 MKFS.BFS(8)
